The two hundred and eighth TV show: #160 Hey Hey It's Saturday
So this was a painful watch. I wouldn't say that Saturday night variety is always great, but I feel like we did watch better. Taken up mostly by rapid fire humour, the jokes and improv segments don't land well - probably because of distance and age for the most part. There could be something charming about the looseness, but here it feels a bit too much, a bit too often and a bit too egregious. This might be something you can be nostalgic for - I can think of similar shows, although ones that worked better - but looking at it now, there's not much in here that holds up.
